TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[academicweapon121]

They emailed on Monday saying they are screening applications and will shortly invite people to the next stage which is the online strengths based assessment. So I’m meaning if anyone has heard back about the next stage.

I heard today for a direct tc application, but after the test it says we will hear mid june, so I assume those who applied to vac schemes and have done the test have to wait until then

Ahh my bad, I thought you were referring to those that had completed the placement application and online tests.

Am I correct in saying that I can apply for a direct TC before the usual June deadline, and still apply for a vacation scheme at the same firm when the open in September?

Yes because it is a new application cycle in September.

It depends on the individual firm’s policy. Some firms will say you can’t reapply at all, others will say that you need to wait 6-12 months before reapplying. For many firms it will be deemed a new application cycle though, and so you could reapply.

When did you do it? I got an invite for the WG the other day.

For the Shoosmiths’ online assessment is it situational? Or some numerical and verbal elements too?

 

[maz12]

Is the Shoosmith online assessment automatic for vac and tc?

I was told by someone on the forum who applied for the vac scheme that it isn't automatic

How do people prepare for a video interview if you have no clue how long you get to answer each question, because you can’t time yourself as a way to practice?

I always struggle with the timing and either run out of time, or find myself with too much time left…

Does anyone know if Goodwin's intake is mostly from vacation scheme or direct TC? And would it be worth applying for direct TC or do I just wait for the new application cycle and apply for the vac scheme?

 

[Riya20000]

For anyone waiting for Mishcon I emailed them and they said they were just going through the last video interviews and aim to get back to us by the end of next week

A month ago

I think they specifically leave a few places for direct TC, as they know that not everyone can make a VS and they don't want to lose a large potential pool of applicants because of that!
